One of the standout features of the 2024 390 Duke is its advanced electronics package, which includes a track mode and launch control, catering to riders seeking a thrilling experience. The bike offers three distinct riding modes: Rain, Street, and Track, each progressively enhancing power delivery. Track mode, in particular, brings the added thrill of launch control, while standard traction control adds an extra layer of safety and control.
The braking components have been borrowed from the RC 390, with new lighter rotors: a 320mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc. The alloy wheels, also sourced from the RC 390, are not only lighter but also feature a reduced number of spokes, aiding in weight reduction and overall performance.

The motorcycle's frame has also undergone a transformation, with an all-new and lighter steel trellis frame. A new aluminium curved swingarm contributes to the bike's agility and manoeuvrability. Buyers can choose between two appealing colour options: Atlantic Blue and Electronic Orange Metallic.
The 2024 390 Duke showcases a more muscular design compared to its predecessor. Key changes include prominent tank extensions, a redesigned headlamp with a larger Daytime Running Lamp, and a revamped rear section featuring a new split seat configuration. Notably, the exhaust is now positioned beneath the belly, contributing to a sleeker look, and the offset placement of the mono-shock further enhances its visual appeal.
In summary, the 2024 KTM 390 Duke is an exciting upgrade with a more powerful engine, advanced features, and a revamped design, making it an appealing choice for motorcycle enthusiasts in India.
